Abstract

Grid congestion forms an obstacle for the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) by companies for their sustainability goals. This paper presents a robust approach to smart charging of large fleets of EVs that only utilizes currently available technologies and data, such that it can be applied in practice. The method relies only on available data at charge point operators. The presented approach uses offline aggregated planning to determine a robust fill-level. Subsequently, this fill-level is used in online control to maximise the quality of service to users while being able to provide flexibility to the energy system. Simulation results using real data show that the self-consumption of PV energy can be improved from 72.0% to 85.4%. Furthermore, the energy not served is reduced from 5.9% to 2.8%.
